Christmas Arrangements

Hi All!

I so can't believe Christmas is next week already!!!!  Like usual, I have a lot of projects that I need to complete before the big day and some presents yet to buy...I tell myself every  year that I will have everything done early but I don't think it is in my DNA to have everything done in a timely manner... I truly think I thrive on the pressure of trying to rush around and get it all done!

It's bad enough that it's hard to get in the Christmas spirit when their is no snow but it is REALLY hard getting into the spirit when I went to Hobby Lobby the other day and they have all their spring and garden items out for display...COME ON PEOPLE...can we try and enjoy the season that we are in????  It goes fast enough without having to bring seasonal items out 6-8 months before the season!  Ok...I'm done with my rant.

I just wanted to show you the 18 arrangements that I had to do make for gifts next week that people ordered from me...

Merry Christmas to you and your families!

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR COLLEGE FINALS ARRANGEMENT!

Hi All!

I received a cake pop order from a Mom from Illinois who wanted me to create an arrangement for her daughter, who is a Freshman at Clemson University in Clemson, SC. 

I just shipped this arrangement out today.  Clemson colors are orange and purple and she had those color cake pops for her graduation party so I wanted to do a fun, Christmas theme and here are some pictures of what it looked like.  The girls at my office really liked it so I hope she does!






 Every Christmas arrangement has to have some jingle bells!





The Mom wanted me to include the handwritten message, so I found a Good Luck card and cut out the Good Luck part of it and used that as an accessory and cut this part of the card out and wrote the message on and tucked it into the arrangement.
